error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared

Hi, I bought the new Humble Bundle today and downloaded the tar.gz file for Fieldrunners (which is supposed to work under linux)

"error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" is the message I get when I put ./Fieldrunners into konsole after copying the fieldrunners folder into /opt
I have freeglut-2.8.0-1 installed

This is the README:

This is Fieldrunners for Linux.

It was built under Ubuntu 12.04 but is known to work in other distros.

The only external dependancy is the freeglut3 library.

To install:
copy the fieldrunners directory (executable and game assets) to /opt
copy the .fieldrunners directory (user options, achievements and saves) to your home directory.

If you don't want to copy the fieldrunners directory to /opt, you can likely start fieldrunners from any folder and it will attempt to find the assets in the same folder as the executable.

The executable /opt/fieldrunners/Fieldrunners will create the .fieldrunners directory in the home directory if not found.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, there is no PKGBUILD file in the tar.gz

Two checks:

pacman -Ql freeglut | grep libglut.so.3
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/libglut.so.3 /opt/fieldrunnners/Fieldrunners

Maybe you’re running Arch 64 bit and Fieldrunners is 32 bit?

Hi, I have a 64 bit system too. I checked and freeglut was installed, but I could run Fieldrunners only after installing lib32-freeglut from AUR. The sound is pretty sloppy but visually it works flawlessly. I sent a message to humble support to give a heads up, they'll probably get it fixed in a future version.

Thanks, it’s the only game I’m interested in in this bundle, so I’d like to know if it works before buying it (for some reason they still aren’t providing any demo on the bundles page…)
Do you use ALSA? What do you mean by “sloppy”?

Edit: I’m actually also interested by Uplink and Spirits… but I can’t say no to a new tower defense game .

I'm using ALSA yes, the sound gets cut all the time so I played it with no sound.

My Fieldrunners says:

cannot open audio device (Device or resource busy)
Fieldrunners: pcm.c:928: snd_pcm_state: Assertion `pcm' failed.

... so I have to kill pulseaudio first (or use padsp). After that (with alsa), it has choppy sound. 1 second sound, one pause...

Spacechem is windows binary + a wine'ish blob (that just freezes on my machine), comes only as rpm/deb and seems to insist to be installed in /opt (AND some files in /usr/share). The included .exe doesn't work with native wine either (without further adjustments at least).

Doesn't really look good at all so far, this bundle.

edit:
Also: Uplink seems to be unplayable on a big resolution Display without workarounds due to its small font...?

Spirits says:

(Spirits-64:14143): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'image-missing' for stock: Fatal error reading PNG image file: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

... but seems to work fine at a first glance (safe for a missing picture in the launcher which isn't really tragic).
edit:
( Aaaand, now I notice I'm in the wrong thread and/or forum. Where did that generic "is the bundle working?"-thread go? Stupid multi-tabbing xD )

I started a thread for the humble android bundle 3.

I posted a possible (but ugly) fix for Fieldrunners' sound (both having to kill Pulse and the choppiness) at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1147936.

To extract the /opt data (which is all that's needed to run SC) from the .deb into the current directory:

ar p spacechem_1.0.12-2_noarch.deb data.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=2 ./opt

The paths aren't hardcoded, so there's no need to install in /opt. You just have to cd to whatever directory it's installed into and run 'mono SpaceChem.exe'. Ignore the launcher script, it does the same thing with hardcoded paths.
